Locker expected to have surgery soon

Titans quarterback Jake Locker is expected to have surgery in the near future to repair the Lisfranc injury he suffered in Sunday’s game against the Jaguars.

Locker, who was officially placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, is scheduled to see a specialist in the coming days.

“I would assume he is,’’ Coach Mike Munchak said on Tuesday. “Until he is looked at they decide exactly what they are going to do, it is hard to tell how long rehab is or what is the best way to go forward. It depends on what the doctor says when he sees him. I don’t think he’s seen the doctor yet that’s going to work on him. They’ve seen pictures, but I think until they actually see him they won’t be able to determine that.”

Locker injured his right foot in the second quarter against the Jaguars when he was hit while running for eight yards.

He fumbled on the next play, then limped to the sideline, where doctors examined him before walking him to the locker room for X-rays. The initial diagnosis at LP Field was a Lisfranc injury, and further tests on Monday confirmed the diagnosis.
